Bagua of eight life aspirations. This theory is taught in modern feng shui, created relatively recently and the purpose of which is to simplify and adapt Chinese metaphysics to the Western mentality as much as possible.
Zoning a one-room apartment with a screen or partition, to which we are drawn intuitively - a favorable or even necessary action from the point of view of feng shui

Feng Shui bedroom layout
According to Feng Shui teachings, the location of the bedroom determines the aura of the room and the influence of auspicious Qi on your life.
For the bedroom, a room is selected that is located as far as possible from the front door. It is not allowed to border a kitchen, bathroom or toilet. The room itself should be square or rectangular in shape and in no case should the bedroom be placed in a walk-through room.
The northern part of the house will provide a good restful sleep, will allow you to relax and fully recuperate. The northeast forms a very active energy, so the location of the bedroom in this sector will adversely affect the health of people suffering from insomnia and mental disorders. Sleeping in such a room can provoke nightmares and aggravate nervous system problems. The northwest side is suitable for the bedroom of people of a more mature age who have determined their place in life and have achieved stability and harmony in family life.
Placing a bedroom in the south is recommended for those seeking passion in intimate relationships. The energy of the southeast is calm and creative. The location of the bedroom in the southeast will have a positive effect on business, will ensure good relations with colleagues and business partners. The most undesirable place for a bedroom is the southwest direction.
The unbalanced energy of this sector will take away restful sleep, can cause anxiety and self-doubt.
For the bedroom of the newlyweds, the east is suitable. The exciting and seductive energy of the East is very important on the verge of living together, it will help you achieve your goals and make your joint plans and dreams come true.
For those who love pleasure, who lack romance in family relationships, the bedroom should be located in the west. This direction does not contribute to success at work or in business, but it will have a beneficial effect on building relationships in the family or with a partner.
In case of redevelopment or cosmetic repairs
If the apartment is supposed to be renovated and the layout can be slightly changed, it is recommended to check that the bedroom doors do not go out:
- on the stairs;
- on sharp objects;
- on the stove or stove;
- on the refrigerator;
- to the toilet;
- to the main entrance door;
- at a bulging angle;
- on a pole without support.
If a bedroom is being set up for a child, then it should be ensured that the Yang energy prevails in it. This is due to the fact that children grow up quickly and are characterized by increased activity. Children's bedroom decoration should be more cheerful and bright. Therefore, if a teenager listens to loud music and closes the walls with posters of his favorite performers, this fact indicates good feng shui, which increases luck and has a positive effect on health.
Toys for boys bring a large amount of negative energy into the children's bedroom: tanks, soldiers, military equipment. It is better to play "war" in another room, outside the bedroom. All other rules regarding the master bedroom also apply to the child's room.
Favorable indoor plants
According to feng shui, it is not advisable to put potted flowers in the bedroom. One plant with positive energy will not interfere with the rest of the vacationers.
Spathiphyllum
The plant with white flowers resembling calla lilies does not smell or interfere with sleep. At night, green leaves release oxygen, and during the day they purify the air from harmful impurities.
Geranium
The flower also cleans the air of germs and repels insects. The leaves exude a spicy scent. The plant can cause allergies. Geranium should be placed at a distance from the bed.
Aloe
The jagged crispy leaves are full of healing juice. Natural antiseptic, aloe, ennobles the aura of the room, but loves peace. Therefore, it must be placed in an inconspicuous place - in the corner of the windowsill, behind the curtain.
Kalanchoe
The ozonator plant produces oxygen intensively at night. It is useful to place it in a room that is difficult to ventilate due to the exhaust gases of a noisy highway.
Violet
The flower regulates the mood of the tenants: white calms, purple helps to come to an understanding, and red - to feel satisfaction from work. Pink violets in the southwest sector of the room will strengthen the feelings of the spouses.
Golden mustache
Leaves apply in folk medicine for the treatment of joints and wound healing. The plant has a beneficial effect on well-being, as it shares energy with a person. The golden mustache should be placed in the health zone in the eastern part of the room.
Ficus
Large leaves of a tropical plant secrete phytoncides that destroy bacteria and viruses. The flower cleans the air in the room from benzene.
Fat woman
A succulent plant is considered a health indicator. If the plant sheds its leaves and withers, it means that it has absorbed the Sha energy of an unhealthy person. The fat woman, known as the money tree, will strengthen the wealth zone in the southeast area of the room.
Begonia
Bright flowers give off a subtle scent and dispel depression. The plant promotes health and attracts wealth into the home.
Feng Shui colors in the interior
The abundance of dark tones upsets the Yin-Yang balance. Black is not recommended as it symbolizes grim events and bad luck. Avoid carpets that are dark in color. Dark furniture should not be placed in small rooms; dark curtains and carpets will not work here.
The location of the bed in the bedroom
Use only light and joyful tones in the living room interior - yellow, white, blue, green and red.
The Chinese have a favorable red color - it is a symbol of happiness, warmth, strength. All shades of red (purple, bright red, lilac) also mean vitality.
Green is the color of spring nature, it means peace and freshness.
Yellow is the color of the sun, symbolizing optimism and symbolizing long life.
Bright colors should not be dominant, but used as accents in details. When choosing the color of a room, it is necessary to take into account the orientation of the apartment to the cardinal points. For the room on the south side, choose cold tones, and for the north side - warm.
The ceiling will be visually higher if you paint it lighter. A small room can be visually expanded by using light and cold shades (for example, light blue, light green and silver gray), and it is better to choose ivory or white doors. And remember that it is undesirable to use more than 5 colors in the interior of the room.
Patterns and drawings in the bedroom
The choice of the ornament that will decorate the bedroom is important and difficult at the same time.
It is important not to make a mistake and not turn the room into a motley mishmash of color, which is not very suitable for a full and relaxing holiday. It is best if the walls and floor are decorated with a plain material or canvas with simple patterns.
Ornaments that are too small for the bedroom are not suitable; they are recommended to be used only for upholstering furniture, for example, chairs, ottoman. Large patterns will look good on curtains, bedspreads.
When choosing a material, you need to focus on the size of the bedroom. In a small room, experts recommend not using large patterned materials and fabrics, but too small a pattern will only ripple in the eyes, causing poor health. It is necessary to choose in such a way that all materials are combined with each other.
It is very important to create harmony and peace.
Decor
When furnishing and decorating a rest room, one should be guided by the word - do no harm. In the bedroom, you can place frescoes with a beautiful and calm landscape, trees, flowers, but it is absolutely not recommended to hang paintings with water, drawings depicting emotional experiences, movement.
Water is a dangerous and unpredictable element. It is contraindicated for a bedroom - sleeping in such a room will be uncomfortable and restless.
Aquariums also cannot be installed in the bedroom, the masters warn that it will negatively affect the health of sleeping people. Massive ceramic figurines with wild animals should also be avoided.
So that there is always harmony in the life of the wife and husband, you can hang a picture with a couple in love above the bed or next to it. It is better to choose a wooden frame for the image, where butterflies can be engraved. These insects are a symbol of love and joy. Also, bedside lamps can have floor lamps with their image or ornament.
The mirror in the room should be large and not split into parts the image of the person looking into it. It is desirable if it is solid, rectangular with rounded ends, and covers the entire growth of the host. And as mentioned above, it should not reflect the bed and people resting on it.
A protective feng shui fan can be used to decorate the bedroom. According to legend, it is considered an amulet.A fan spread out and hung on the wall is able to create a powerful protection against negative energy and attract positive Chi energy.
In the bedrooms of private houses, you can find a fireplace - a symbol of the element of fire, so it is best if it is in the southern part of the room. A live fire will provide the necessary positive energy and comfort. It will be very comfortable to sleep in such an environment.
As for the small decorative elements, such as figurines, souvenirs, etc., they will successfully fit into the interior on the bedside tables. There shouldn't be many of them. For example, family people can put a figurine of two pigeons. They can be ceramic or crystal. The ensemble of the room will be beautifully complemented by small red candles with candlesticks, they will bring romance and the energy of love to the bedroom.
Arrangement of furniture in feng shui
The bedroom set includes two bedside tables (on either side of the bed), and symmetry is key here: all decor items must be paired (for example, the same lamps). Bedside tables are chosen to be durable, not overpowering, which means - with rounded shapes and below the head of the bed. It is better to refuse high vertical cabinets. They create a depressed feeling when you are in bed.
Too spacious Feng Shui bedroom creates a feeling of uncertainty about the future, and in order to reduce its size visually, small pieces of furniture (dressing table) are added, if necessary, and a seating area.
Mirrors
There are many misconceptions about the mirror in the bedroom. It is believed that placed opposite the bed (reflecting a person), it not only interferes with sleep, but can cause failures in family life. In fact, this position does not create a negative effect on its own. The problem is related to incompatibility with the pakua zone. The object represents the element of Water and serves as a medium for expanding space.
The mirror in the east and southeast is Water in the Fire zone and the state of internal conflict. Expansion of the zone (due to reflection) will lead to adverse consequences. It will cause increased suspicion, mistrust and disagreements between partners, as a result - frequent quarrels.
The southwest zone is responsible for relationship problems in the bedroom, and they can arise from the effect of expanding the space. Symptoms are excessive expectations from a partner. Another problem is that, despite the correct use of cosmetics, a woman will not look the way she wants.
Dressing table
The dressing table is one of the heavenly feng shui medicines available to enhance fame and recognition. It is usually with a mirror, and the best directions for placing it would be the north, northeast, northwest, or south wall.
Paintings and photos
Gloomy, sad, hopeless, aggressive images or shocking modernist motives symbolize negative energy, can weaken or completely cancel the good qi necessary for healing the soul and body
It is important, when going to bed or waking up in the morning, to see that everything in the bedroom is associated with flows of good energy, and the walls in the field of view demonstrate this.
Photos and pictures should be calm. It can be an inspiring photo of a favorite vacation spot, images associated with the emotions of love, a happy relationship, perhaps intimacy. In fact, any art object or decor element in the bedroom directly depends on the state of health, relationships between partners and general well-being.
To attract a romantic relationship, paintings or photographs depicting a couple are chosen to convey the message of a strong relationship. You should not choose an object of art, even if it is Picasso's masterpiece "Blue Nude", which depicts a lonely woman with her head bowed and her back to the viewer. Preference - views of nature, but not with snowy landscapes.
In any painting, in addition to symbolism, the quality of colors is important.An abundance of dark shades is not recommended, as they are associated with low and heavy energies leading to suffering and sadness.
Messy and chaotic strokes or abstract paintings that have no “head, no tail,” give rise to vague mental and emotional states.
Aquarium in the bedroom
The water element can bring harmony to the bedroom, but aquariums have the exact opposite effect for the feng shui of this room. They live their own lives, distracting from the possibility of romance.
Fan in the bedroom
Fan in Feng Shui is one of the nine heavenly medicines. It symbolizes the beneficial flow of qi and helps to disperse negative energy. The preferred choice for the bedroom is a classic wall fan made of bamboo, hand painted and varnished. Since it represents the element of Fire, it should be used only in appropriate places that are tolerant of it. The best images for a Feng Shui fan that will bring good luck and positive energy are dragons, cranes, flowers and landscapes.
Fireplace in the bedroom
The placement of the fireplace is of great importance to the health and vitality of the occupants. He represents the element of Fire, which is volatile and can signal destructive relationships. Favorable places for a fireplace are the south, south-west and north-east wall. These zones love Fire and enhance its qualities.
Energy flow
Energy at home
The inflow of cosmic energy is provided to the room, in which nothing interferes with the inflow and circulation of a constant inflow of fresh air. It is no secret that the cause of serious problems and illnesses for the inhabitants is often rooms devoid of an influx of energy and air.
So, ideally, your rooms should be bright. Should not have many walls blocking the necessary vital energy. At least one wall must have windows. What if the room is in the center of the building? The person will suffer from a lack of vital energy. However, if there are no more than 2 solid walls in such a room, blocking will not occur. Remember that the center of your home should also be the center of energy movement. Do not allow stagnation, make sure that there is no completely closed space left. This is one of the fundamental rules of feng shui.
It is especially important to comply with this rule in houses that remain empty for most of the day.
The walls are of prime importance.
The wall opposite the bed.
The wall next to the door leading to the house.
The wall is opposite.
The wall opposite the kitchen table.
The wall behind you when you work.
Wall in the living room.
General rules for breeding houseplants in feng shui
What rules should be followed when choosing and breeding indoor plants?
At the stage of plant selection, you need to pay attention to the sprouts: it is good if they are directed upwards. These plants are perfect if you want a positive atmosphere to reign in your home.
On the other hand, plants with drooping sprouts are believed to attract negative events and are a kind of "energy vampires";
if we talk about the shape of the plant, then round leaves are preferable, sharp ones bring negative;
in feng shui, it is believed that plants are divided into male and female
Therefore, it is especially important to place plants that are suitable for the owner of the premises by gender;
it is not recommended to place dry plants in the house. If you like ikebana, give her a separate space in your summer cottage;
do not place too many plants in the bedroom, in particular, near the bed;
Feng Shui experts believe that large plants have more energy than small ones
Therefore, in cases where you urgently need to change the atmosphere in the house, it is recommended to choose exactly large flowers;
most often, negative energy accumulates in hard-to-reach places: corners, shelves, storage rooms.It is there that it is recommended to place plants to restore a harmonious atmosphere;
especially moisture-loving plants should be planted in red pots.
Choosing a color palette
To find out which shades are suitable for the bedroom, you need to determine with the help of the Ba Gua octagon in which part of the apartment or house the room is located.
Southeast
The green color and energy of the Wood corresponds to the southeast and east sides of the house. Dark and light shades are diluted with colors in harmony with them, so that the atmosphere in the room is conducive to relaxation. Light olive, light green tones and aquamarine are pleasing to the eye. Swamp, gray-green, emerald and deep leafy shades look gloomy, so they should not be overused.
Northeast and southwest
The direction is subject to the elements of the Earth. According to feng shui, it corresponds to yellow and brown shades, close to those found in nature: sand, clay. Light and dark tones can be combined.
South
The elements of Fire, patronizing the south side, correspond to a palette of red shades. The scarlet walls of the room are not conducive to relaxation. The best solution would be a neutral background, and furniture and accessories in red, scarlet, pink shades. If red is unpleasant in the bedroom, you can replace it with a more soothing peach shade.
North or northwest
The bedroom, located in the north and northwest part of the dwelling, is decorated in cold blues and blues. In order not to freeze and drown in a deep abyss, they need to be combined with neutral colors. It is better if the base is a base shade - white, beige, light gray. It will be diluted with furniture upholstery, bedding, wall decor in blue tones.
West
Metal is an element that hi-tech style harmoniously fits into. For a western bedroom, white, gray, chrome and silver are suitable.
Ceiling
The headspace in the bedroom should be light, so it is best to use white materials. The basic rule of feng shui ceiling design is a flat surface, without crossbars, cracks and crumbling plaster.
Floor
The dark color of the coating, according to Feng Shui, takes the Sha energy. In combination with the light ceiling in the bedroom, a natural cycle of energy is created that circulates in the human body. In such a room, fatigue quickly passes, and strength is restored.
The color of furniture, curtains and bed linen in the break room
Bedroom feng shui makes many demands directly on the place to sleep. The bed should be comfortable, solid and stable. It is not recommended to hang various lamps, sconces, floor lamps over it. This kind of light energy is concentrated in a dense beam on certain parts of the body, and the result can be painful sensations in them. Bright light gives the bedroom a charge of dramatic energy, soft dim light - fills the room with eroticism and peace.
The bed is an indicator of married life, so it should not be transformed into a sofa. The sleeping area needs to have the least amount of "separating features" such as two beds piled together or two individual mattresses. If spouses have to spend the night on a fold-out couch, cover it with a thick blanket before going to bed.
As for the color scheme of furniture, it should be chosen taking into account the year of its birth, because each of them corresponds to a certain element. The best option is a bed made of natural materials, whose structure has the ability to "breathe". The best solution in this regard would be a wooden bed. If you were born under the sign of Fire, choose it in shades of red. Only a person belonging to the element of Metal can sleep on a bed made of this material.
Feng Shui recommends paying attention to which part of the room you will be resting in.Are you planning to arrange a sleeping area in the east or southeast part of the bedroom, the symbol of which is the Tree? Then buy a bed painted green
The center, southwest and northeast are obliged to sleep on a bed of brown to light yellow shades, since these directions are under the rule of the symbols of the Earth. The North and Northwest refer to the Metal zones, therefore it is permissible to install a bed with wrought or iron elements in them. But even if you plan to sleep in the north side of the room, then keep in mind that, from the point of view of Chinese science, fashionable beds on a water pillow are very harmful, because they combine inharmonious elements - Water (the mattress is filled with it) and Fire (heating element) ...
You should not strictly follow color recommendations when choosing furniture. After all, it is often very difficult to find a bed and other items that complement the interior, the necessary shades, or the purchase turns out to be unbearable for your budget. Therefore, it is much easier to restrict yourself to the correct design of a bed with the help of a bedspread and small pillows, and decorate bedside tables and a chest of drawers with fabrics and additional elements of the desired colors.
The extra coziness of your bedroom will help you create the right shade of rug that will blend in with the overall style of the room. It is better to choose one that is made from natural materials, because Feng Shui recommends creating a design without using synthetics and artificial components. The outer structure of the rug should be pleasant to the touch of your feet. The dark color of the floor will contribute to the receipt of additional strength - it is under this condition that negative energy can easily leave your body, going down.
Since a window for the Chinese is a source of a powerful energy flow, special attention should be paid to the color of its decor. Choose curtains from light, airy fabrics in pastel shades that will blend in with the main interior of the bedroom
To have a beneficial effect on your own health, give preference to blue and green colors - they bring peace. If you want to make the energy circulate faster in the bedroom, decorate the window with curtains in warm and at the same time soft shades, for example, orange, gold, yellow. Other options are acceptable, but avoid using white in the decor - according to the Chinese, it leads to a violation in all areas of life.
The design of the bed largely depends on the bedding used. The main requirement for it is the naturalness of the fabrics. Synthetics and fabrics combined with it do not contribute to attracting luck and wealth
The choice of feng shui shade does not limit, it is only important to avoid buying dark blue and black linen, as they negatively affect the inner state of a person. As for prints, it is better to give preference to floral motifs, designs with clouds or grass, as well as geometry with flowing shapes.
Try to avoid images of predatory animals, sharp corners, vertical lines and water.
